"here's where the angels and devils meet"

"Sing little darling, sing with me."
Emmylou - First Aid Kit
 
This is a lovely, little song and I thought it would fit. So enjoy the set and the song.
 
As for me... I am good although life is ever complicated. But honestly, I'd be surprised with anything less. I am still a young dreamer, ever in love with new things and new music.... and a boy. Although this one, Jeremy... is here to stay.
 

 
Lyrics
 
Oh the bitter winds are coming in
And I'm already missing the summer
Stockholm's cold but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
When it's you I find like a ghost in my mind
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown
 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
 
Now so much I know that things just don't grow
If you don't blessed them with your patience
And I've been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise
 
But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through
But I'm not asking for a storm
 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
 
And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn't benefit from knowing of the truth
I was frightened but I held fast
I need you now at long last
 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
 
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Just sing little darling, sing with me

"Every time I close my eyes it's like a dark paradise. No one compares to you. I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side." Dark Paradise - Lana Del Rey
 
After hearing "Video Games" months back, Lana has become one of my favorite muscians and I adore her and admire her. I'd love to be as successful, beautiful, talented as her. Born to Die is a phenomenal album. I can't listen to it enough. //Haven't made a set in forever. Hope this was good. I listened to the song on repeat and made something going off what I felt. What I normally feel, a dark rebellious energy inside me.

"Leave it all down here, its future rust and its future dust."
Spanish Sahara - Foals
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaVE4WVlsDQ&ob=av3e (Best part of song is... 4:28 in)
 
I've been wanting to use this song with a set for a very long time... and even now, I don't think the set is good enough for the song, but it'll have to work. The set is dark, gloomy... as is the song, so in that way at least they are complimentary. So yeah, I love this song... its beautiful but depressing. To me its about trying to forget something awful, to move on from an event or a person in our lives... but sometimes we can't move on completely, sometimes the best we can hope for is a dull ache... pain that persists despite all attempts to rid ourselves of it....pain that never quite goes away.
 
As for the set, well... I spent about an hour or so putting these 50 items together to make this strange, and somehow delightful college. I was listening to the Hunger Games Score while making it, and though I considered putting Rues Farewell with the set, I didnt think it quite worked. Anyway, Hope people like this. If you do, fav and comment.

So apparently, I haven't done a set in 9 months or so. WOW!!!! That is absolutely horrible of me but I just haven't been inspired, and when I have been, I still haven't managed to put anything worth publishing together. The other day I simply forced myself to sit down and create... and it felt good. so very good. O how I've missed it. I definitely need it do it more. Hmmm.... So as for my life.
 
I live in Arizona, the place I wanted to escape for so very long is the very place I returned to... but Im glad I did because I have the absolute best friends and the most amazing boyfriend, Jeremy who Im absolutely positive is the one I'll spend the rest of my life with. We've been together over a year now and its wonderful to find someone to be completely and utterly in love with. Im glad I can stop writing all about boy troubles and lame crushes (seriously, I did that alot) and now I have someone I can truly count on. I work at Target... and Im saving up to be a Vet Tech... while my boyfriend is going to school to be a Veternarian. Yep, the dream is to someday have our own practice in a beautiful, small town. I have my own apartment and a dog. A little red fawn Manchester terrier, Baby. (She looks like a bigger version of a miniture pintcher.) ... Things are going well. Im happy. And I've definitely grown up and matured ... especially over the time Ive been away.
 
So yeah, look forward to hearing from everyone. Thanks for all the likes, comments, favs... everything! Hugs, hugs, hugs!!!! <3
 
Lyrics
 
So I walked through to the haze
And a million dirty waves
Now I see you lying there
Like a lilo, losing air... air
Black rocks on the shoreline surf
Still that summer I cannot bear
And I wipe the sand from my eyes
It's the Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
leave the horror, yeah...
 
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust
 
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and then it's future dust...
 
Now the waves, they drag you down
Carry you to broken ground
Though I'll find you in the sand
Wipe you clean with dirty hands
So god damn this boiling space
It's the Spanish Sahara, the place that you'd wanna
leave the horror, yeah...
 
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am...
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am...
I'm the fury in your head
I'm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am...
 
Forget the horror here
Forget the horror here
Leave it all down here
It's future rust and it's future dust
 
Calm the fury in your head
Calm the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am...
Quiet the fury in your head
Quiet the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am...
Quiet the fury in your head
Quiet the fury in your bed
I'm the ghost in the back of your head
Cause I am.

Wishing Well - The Airborne Toxic Event
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WDP2Qmkuxc
 
A great song, by a pretty cool band with a hot lead singer! This song and "Sometime Around Midnight" by them are just terrific! This song to me is about escape, or desiring escape (whether it be the past, from ghosts, from society, from responsibilites, from anything) ... and thats pretty much what the set is about. Escape. I'd love to just throw caution to the wind and go out into the world (preferably with a companion... perhaps my cosmopolitan boyfriend) I desire nothing more than the chance to travel, see everything there is to see, experience what other places and other people have to offer. It would be positively delightful! Unfortunately at the moment I don't have such oppurtunities but someday... someday I will!
 
Hope everyone likes the set. I thought I'd make a fashion set just with clothes and then I started playing with doll parts and somehow it morphed into this. And I think its... cute. So comment, write me and enjoy my sets! Thanks. Hugs and Kisses <3
 

 
Lyrics
 
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
On the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat
 
And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin
 
You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
 
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it,
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well"
 
And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
From the haze of the smoke
And the mescaline
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
You thought suicide was an alibi
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah, it's awful, I guess
But it's the awful truth
It was truth from the first
To the last words that she read
 
And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
Where we fell.

"We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it."
"My mind's dirty and it don't need cleaning!"
 
Two Songs: Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun ... and Just Can't Get Enough by The Black Eyed Peas. Both songs remind me of my boyfriend, Jeremy. One represents my sweeter... softer thoughts toward him. The other *laughs*... well that one represents my "other" side. A more lusty side. Anyway, we've been together 6 months as of July 5th. He's... indescribable. He's truly amazing, one of the absolute best things that has ever happened to me. I could go on forever writing about him, but I'm simply head over heels for him...
 
and I definitely make sure he knows how I feel.
 
As for the set, I was going to put the text "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." in it... but I decided that was obiously the meaning behind the set without needing to say it so bluntly. Still... I hope everyone likes this set. Its taken me long enough to make one! Seriously!
 
XOXOXO
 

Lyrics
 
Walking On a Dream - Empire of the Sun
 
Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again
 
We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me
 
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
 
Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime
 
Catch me I'm falling down
Catch me I'm falling down
 
Don't stop just keep going on
I'm your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light
 
and ...
 
Just Cant Get Enough - The Black Eyed Peas

Wildcat - Ratatat
(Why didn't someone think to use a cougar cry in a song before now? Awesome effect! <3)
 
Pull My Heart Away - Jack Penate
(I've been listening to this song a lot lately and I can't even remember how I came across it... but I'm glad I did. Its pretty darn terrific!)
 
I don't have much to say tonight... I'm exhausted and about to head off to bed. Tomorow is the start of my spring break... my boyfriend and I are spending the entire week together, simply hanging out, enjoying each other... its gonna be totally wonderful! <3 To fall asleep each night to him... and wake each morning to him. So yeah, wooahhh! I'm excited! And... thought the quote ... in the set... kinda fit?! HA!
 
Lyrics
 
I'm ripping your posters off the wall
I'm moving the boxes into the hall
I stop when I hear a drum beat call
It must be a sign
It is time
 
I need to take myself away
From a pillowed hand on which I stand
And throw me out the side of a plane
And I'll just see where I land
 
I will have to pull my heart away
Cause if I never leave, I'll ruin yesterday
 
It's not like my feet are stuck to the floor
It's not like I'm wanting to nail down the door
I want you to throw my shoes in the fire
And I'll watch the souls burn
on the funeral pyre, and it will
 
Over and it'll
Change my position
And I'll know that nobody
Nobody's listening
And it's easy for me
And it's better for the soul
And it's better for you
And it's better for all
 
I will have to pull my heart away
Cause if I never leave, I'll ruin yesterday (x2)
 
I'm over with words
I'm moving in lines
And all that I've heard
Is jump off the side
Jump off the side
 
I will have to pull my heart away
Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday

Someone Like You - Adele
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAc83CF8Ejk
 
(This is my new fav song! Beyond words!!!! Beyond explaining! It pulls at my heart and tears me apart and makes me get down on my knees and pray that this song never fits a situation in my life. I like where I am now... with a certain someone... falling in love, slowly... and I'll admit it... I'm not afraid of comittment, I'm afraid of loss. Of wanting something so badly... and eventually being disappointed, having it go away. I don't know how I'll handle it... if I even could handle it.)
 
But yeah, hope everyone loves this set! I do!
 
I also hope you enjoy the Story Piece, which has nothing to do with the set or song. (But first let me explain the scene a little... if thats possible. Okay so when I write stories I tend to jump all around and write a variety of scenes in no particular order. This is one of them... In this scene, Tristan (and Ellyssa) has to run out for "business reasons"... so they leave Daren and Ryder alone in the apartment. Never a good idea! Tristan leaves them with two simple rules, Rule One, Dont let anyone in... or rather dont INVITE anyone in. (Can you tell Ive been watching too much Vampire Diaries lately?) ... Rule Two, Dont have sex on his bed. But in this scene... Daren and Ryder have "fun", order takeout and get a surprise visitor... EV (the easedropping vampire) EV arrives as a delivery man and attacks Daren under strick orders to take the occupants of the apartment out... Unfortunately EV didn't know the occupants would be friends. So of course he has to backtrack! Cus he can't kill Daren! Also its probably useful to know that EV is a supernatural friend of there's, who shows up at random parts in the book, and often contemplates the meaning of life, the universe and everything (He doesnt in this scene, but he normally does). He's also a homosexual vampire from Ancient Greece.)
 
*laughs* So yeah... Enjoy!
 
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
 
“I’m leaving." Tristan said, pausing to run a hand through his hair. "I won’t be gone long but while I’m out please for Christ sakes don’t invite anyone in!” He added. Tristan fixed Ryder and Daren with a stern, intimidating look. He turned to leave and then immediately turned around again. “And don’t have sex on my bed!” He said, and then with a sigh left.
 
(Later on)
 
*door bell rings*
 
“Special delivery!” A voice called from outside the door of the apartment.
 
“Come in!” Daren, who was still in the bedroom, called out in response. “There’s a table by the door, you can put the food there. Hold on a second while I get the money together.” A moment later Daren exited the room, dressed only in a pair of boxers. His hair was ruffled and there were countless red splotches scattered periodically along his chest. The delivery man didn’t see any of this though because his back was turned to Daren. Daren approached the man, a wade of money extended outward but without warning, the delivery man turned and sprang upon Daren, grabbing his throat while emitting a bone chilling growl. Understandable, Daren began screaming loudly.
 
“OMG!’ Daren yelled. “OMG!” The delivery man yelled, but for an entirely different reason, and instantly let go of Daren. “EV, what are you doing here?” Daren asked, stepping back a few feet. “I… Well… Well… I…” EV stumbled for words. “I didn’t know you were a delivery man.” Daren asked. EV cocked his head to the side in thought and then smiled tentatively. “Yes, yes as a matter of fact I am. Can’t say you’re my normal customers but…”
 
At that precise moment Ryder walked into the room, interrupting the conversation. She was wearing a blood red corset, a black lace thong, and her wrists were bound behind her back by handcuffs. “Is the food here yet?” She asked and then seeing EV, added. “Oh hello EV. I didn’t know you’d be joining us. Would you mind undoing these for me?” She asked, nodding toward the handcuffs.

For a moment he simply stared at her and then with a furious shake of his head, composed himself. “Well, it wasn’t exactly something I was planning on, coming here I mean.” He admitted taking a seat at the table. “Where would the key happen to be located, my dear?” He asked hesitantly.

“It’s in here.” She wiggled her breasts around inside the corset. “Yep, right there in the middle...” EV frowned. “Oh yes, exactly where I expected it to be.” Uncertainly he reached down inside her top, fumbled around for a moment, pulled out the key and began undoing the handcuffs.
 
“If it’s not in Ryder’s purse its likely in her bra.” Daren laughed and began pouring himself fried rice. “Aw that’s better!” Ryder sighed, pulling the handcuffs completely off and dropping then on the table beside the cartons of food Daren was already digging into. “Please hand me the lo mien. I’m starved.” EV, despite his best efforts couldn’t help but look at Ryder’s outfit again or what little there was of it.
 
Daren jumped up and headed for the kitchen. “I’ll be back.” He stated. “You’re not going to bother changing?” EV asked curiously, glancing back toward Ryder. She shook her head, swallowed and crammed another fork full of rice and half an egg roll in her mouth. “It’s not like I need to worry about you checking me out.” She remarked. “Why is that?” EV looked puzzled.“Your sexual preference generally eliminates anyone with breasts or a vagina, doesn’t it?” She said. “Oh I see.” EV said, grimacing. “Don’t worry your secrets safe with me.” Ryder smiled momentarily before biting into a chicken wing. “Oh dear. I’m afraid that doesn’t comfort me at all.” He muttered. “Plus I wear stuff like this all the time… in front of everyone.” Ryder gestured at her clothes. “It’s true.” Daren said re-entering the room, a bottle of vodka in one hand, a liter of Coke in the other.
“I felt like something was missing.” Daren said, filling Ryder’s glass half full of vodka.
 
(And if you hadn't figured it out by now...
 
Daren and Ryder are quite sexual people who also happen to love drinking alcohalic beverages. Oh and Ryder's always hungry, despite her petite frame!)
 
Lyrics

"Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest."
Howl - Florence and the Machines
 
(Its probably unhealthy how addicted to this song I am (especially considering I think of it as quite sexual!) ... but oh well! I don't really care! (Especially if it is sexual! -giggles evily-) Florence is amazing! Truly, truly mind blowing! She is one of the best female singers ever! Pft! She's one of the best singers ever!!! And every one of her songs is just astounding, especially this one... Cosmic Love, Heavy in Your Arms, Dog Days are Over, Rabbit Heart and many others. Check out this song and check her out! Another reason I love this song is the references to werewolves! Very sexy and edgy! Dark and Delightful! <3)
 

 

Anyway! On another note...
 
I want a motorcycle! My boyfriend and I both want one... and he's willing to teach me how to ride one. Mainly I want a motorcycle because I think they're pretty damn cool... and I've always wanted one! But also because they're cheaper than most other vehicles and you get a hell of a lot more mileage to the gallon. But mainly cus they're awesome!!!
 
I also want a tattoo! My boyfriend is planning on getting his first tattoo soon... and I kinda want one. Mainly because I think they're cool and I've always wanted one... (Hmmm, there seems to be a pattern here.) But also because... well, actually pretty much cus they're cool!!!
 
I'm not sure what I want though. I was thinking something small and simple that I'll always love and will reflect something significant in my life or of my views on life. Since the giant dragon tattoo stretching the entire right side of my body from right above my right breast (just below my arm pit), down past my ribs all the way to my hip is out. (Everyone seems to think thats a bit hardcore! Pftttt! *scoffs* Please!) I was thinking maybe a little sparrow with the words "Ad astra per aspera" which in Latin means - To the stars through difficulty.
 
This would signify that everything in life can be conquered, and that as long as you are courageous, hard working, determined and always strive and do your best... you can reach the stars and achieve your dreams. But I don't know what I want... I'm a very picky person and I'm afraid I'll get a tattoo and eventually hate it. So yeah... ahhh!
 
ANYONE HAVE TATTOOS? If so tell me about them!! I'd love to hear! Or if you have tattoo design ideas... I'd love to hear about those too! <3 <3
 
And on ANOTHER note...
I got a job! And I start Tuesday! <3 Yippie!!!
 
Lyrics
 
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
 
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
 
Howl, howl
Howl, howl
 
Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground
 
Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness
 
And howl, howl
Howl, howl
 
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
 
The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground
 
And howl
 
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
 
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
 
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

"The here and the now and the love of the sound, are the moments that keep us moving."
 
Soldier On - Temper Trap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZs0_r3ROjg
 
(This is a phenominal song! I'm a huge Temper Trap fan because everything they do is spektacular! And if you haven't already, I can't stress the fact enough that you really should go and listen to some of their music! <3 <3 (You also might know this song if you've seen the new movie, "I am Number Four" which is GREAT! Alex Pettyfer is so DAMN yummy and the film as a whole is pretty good! ... So yeah, I'm going to include a little story piece with this set... Hope everyone likes the story piece and the set. I decided to do something new for a change. And as always feedback, comments, favs always... APPRECIATED! XOXOXO )
 

STORY PIECE (To sum it up, Ellyssa and Ryder are best friends. Daren,Tristan and Raiden are guys the girls have met. Raiden is sensible and normally quiet, Tristan is loud and full of himself, Daren is sweet and childlike, Ryder is spontanious and crazy, and Ellyssa is her own person entirely and doesn't appreciate her friend, (Ryder) impulsive and reckless actions. At the moment, Ellyssa is pretty much frustrated with everyone... life ... and the inpending doom thats coming their way which is what they're about to warn Daren and Ryder about! <3)
 
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
 
He drew her close to him, so that their faces were mere inches apart, and the only separation between their bodies was due to the clothes they still wore. “Daren…” Ryder whispered. He put a finger to her lips, and then moved his hand gently backwards to her cheek and onward to her neck. And then he leaned in, pulling her face gently forward to meet his own, and all her wildest dreams, all her uncensored fantasies could not have prepared her for that exquisite moment when their skin touched intimately for the first time.
 
☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
 
Ryder opened her eyes, which immediately registered the interior of a van. Vans, as many people know, are not always associated with the best of circumstances, so it’s understandable that for a moment Ryder found herself nervous, but after turning over and also recognizing the sleeping form of Daren, the previous night’s activities came back to her in a rush. Or rather bits and pieces of the night came back and none of it had to do with being kidnapped by a serial killer.
 
She smiled to herself, and reached over to stroke the young man’s tousled hair. Suddenly it registered to her that she was still completely clothed. She pulled back the blanket from her lower half, and realized not only did she still have her pants on, but her shoes as well. With a frown, she shook Daren awake.
 
He opened his eyes and smiled. “Good morning.” His voice was low and soft. Ryder smiled back at him pleasantly but wasted no time getting to the point.
 
“What happened last night?” She asked.
“Uh, hmmm … you know I’m not sure.” He admitted after a moment.
“Okay, well what do you remember?” She tried again.
“Well, I remember … whisky…. and music. You’re obsessed with the 80’s. I remember kissing, oh there was a lot of kissing… you’re a good kisser.” He stopped in his sentence to smile pleasantly at her again.
 
“What else?” Ryder pressed further and Daren continued, yawning as he spoke.
“I don’t know… sleep, after that I remember sleeping… I had the craziest dream actually.”
Ryder frowned. “So we didn’t... do anything else?”
She was keen on knowing what she felt was an exceedingly important fact.
“Nope… I was really tired, and you… you drank a lot.”
“So there’s absolutely no chance that we…”
“Had sex?” Daren finished the question for her.
“Yeah?” Ryder said.
“No.” Daren clarified. Ryder didn’t even attempt to hide her displeasure.
“Damn it.” She muttered, and threw herself back down on the mattress.
Daren chuckled softly, and leaned over to kiss her.
“Your disappointment is a total turn-on.” He whispered.
“So how about finishing what we started last night?” Ryder prompted.
 
Daren apparently agreed to this. He began kissing her avidly, and Ryder taking this as an indication he did indeed want to continue the previous night’s activities, began pulling off his shirt. But Ryder never got off more than Daren’s right sleeve because at that moment the van door was forcefully opened from the outside, and a loud voice she was beginning to associate with frustratingly ill-timed interruptions shouted, “I found them!”
 
“Damn it, Tristan! Go away!” Ryder pushed Daren off gently, restraining her annoyance momentarily, before grabbing a nearby empty whiskey bottle and releasing her irritation. She chucked it viciously at Tristan’s head but he ducked easily, and smiled.
 
“Always so delightful to see you Ryder.” He said, before turning around and walking back toward Raiden and Ellyssa who stood a few yards off, looking extremely uncomfortable. Tristan dodged another thrown bottle, before clasping on a love seat.
 
“Did you really have to do that?” Raiden asked.
“No… but I must confess, I did rather enjoy it.” Tristan smiled; the smile of a man extremely pleased with himself.
 
Ellyssa rolled her eyes and walked over to the van, where Ryder was tumbling out, a fresh, unbroken bottle in her hand. “How dare you take off and not tell me where you were going!” Ellyssa confronted Ryder, who was looking past her, glaring at Tristan. “What made you do something like that? Ryder, look at me! Hey!” With hesitance Ryder finally looked at Ellyssa, who confronted her once again with the question, “What the hell made you do that?”
 
“What normally makes her do stuff, unpredictable and irrational impulses.” Tristan called from his perch.
 
Ryder threw another glare his way, although luckily not the bottle. And if she was being honest with herself she did have to admit, Tristan was right. Going with Daren, (like a lot of the things she’d done lately) had been on a whim. She decided it would probably just be best to answer the question with an apologetic shrug, and an “I don’t know” but mainly an apologetic shrug.
 
Daren hopped out of the van, and threw a hesitant glance at Ellyssa. “And you,” Ellyssa chose that moment to round on him, “You’re a horrible influence.” She growled coldly.
Daren threw up his hands in defense. “Hey how was I supposed to know taking off would make you freak out?”
 
“Ellyssa,” Raiden walked over and joined in the conversation. “Can we not forget why we came?” He said this politely, as he said everything, and yet there was a sense of authority to his voice. Ellyssa acknowledged his comment with a frown. Ryder furrowed her brow, puzzled. “You mean you have a reason for coming here other than just wanting to yell at us?”
 
“Regrettably. Although just scolding you two would have been enough for me.” Tristan admitted, still sitting lazily on the recliner.
 
“Unfortunately, we did find something out…” Raiden continued; only to be interrupted by Tristan again.
 
“And with this new revelation,” Tristan said, “They thought you guys shouldn’t be left alone. Although I’m fairly convinced some higher power has a soft spot for you two, the way you always manage to maneuver your way out of potentially fatal situations and everything, and that you’d be perfectly fine … doing whatever … you were doing.” He grinned wickedly and winked at them.
 

 

Lyrics
 
Who wants to know?
All that is gold, is rusted
No one will know
Seasons cease, to change, and..
 
How far we've gone
How far were going
So here and the now
And the love for the sound
Are the moments that keep us moving
 
Waves crash along
Battered lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow shes gone
And if not, some, they somehow
Are, these, hands, always
 
Well this side of, mortality is
Scaring, me, to death
To death
 
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
 
Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close to the ground
Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close, to the ground
 
Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all
 
Yeah..
Will you take me tonight
Yeah..
Will you take me tonight
Yeah..
Will you take me tonight
 
Yeah..
Will you take me tonight
Tonight
 
Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close to the ground

40 Day Dream - Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zero (Awesome song!) ...
AND!!!! .... If You Run - The Boxer Rebellion (Terrific song! Both romantic, but infinitely different!)
 
Great songs! I saw the music video for 'If You Run', which shows clips of the movie "Going the Distance" which I haven't seen but now want to. The main male character reminds me of my boyfriend, they have a similar appearance... and the movie clips paired with such a pretty song pulled at my heart strings... but yeah! The quote in this set reminds me of something my boyfriend said to me when we first met, when we first started liking each other... he said, "The scariest feelings are the best ones." And I totally, totally agree! <3
 
ANYWAY!!!!
 
I'm excited because in approximately 10 - 11 hours I get to see my AMAZING boyfriend... and spend the morning with him, hang out, have a little fun (wink) and then meet up with friends for a pinic at the park around 2pm. I'm thrilled! <3 <3 So yeah about the set... I think is pretty good... better than quite a few of my others... so yeah, hope everyone likes it! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!! COMMENT PEOPLE COMMENT!
 
And as always! ... Thanks for all the support, comments, favs... ect.
<3 HUGS AND KISSES! XOXOXO <3
 

Lyrics
 
I'm always here
Waiting for you all alone
Eyes of the night
Just to see, see you home
 
There's two of us in here
The only, only
There's two of us in here
And it's only
 
I'm always here
All alone without you now
Lights of the night
Just to see you somehow
 
There's two of us in here
The only, only
There's two of us in here
And it's only
 
Just you wait
Just you wait
Just you wait
Just you wait
 
If you run
If you run
If you run
 
I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait
